Charley is a drugstore soda jerk who passes the workday reading detective magazines. His 'natural instincts' naturally get him into trouble as he fingers everyday citizens as wanted criminals. When his mother-in-law identifies gangster Lucky Lapiddus, Charley becomes more determined to catch a crook. When Lapiddus is set free and vows vengeance on Charley's mother-in-law, Charley teams up with Murphy the beat cop to trap Lappidus. Needless to say, the plan backfires and Charley ends up running from the law himself!! Columbia stock player Bud Jamison has a very funny role as the cop who goes along with Charley's suspicions. All in all, another funny Chase two-reeler. Those with good eyes with notice a former OUR GANG member as one of the kids in the beginning.
